At least I've managed to do something positive if it has made you laugh lir!:)

Just in general. You just make me smile.

Think I have to write it, think I won't send it...you know?

Can't really explain ATM. I would happily le it be with no contact, but the wretch will not take the hint. Ulitmately I'm too f'ing polite to actually send it. Too composed to send it when I should (about 20 mins ago before LJ made me giggle) and too stuck in my belief that it would not help me to be rude or to 'win'. I'd just like to know I could if I wanted

God isnt that a !!!!!? when they are too thick to get it? AAARRRGH! :eek:t

I would advise, tentatively, that you write it, and read it again in the morning. If you're happy with it then, then send it. If in doubt, leave it out, you will have answered your own conscience then. If he/she really is that thick not to realise he/she is being snubbed then will they 'get' the letter?

Hmm. Thick is a little unfair. They are actually lauded as an intellectual. I think actually the problem is less they they can't see my P.o.V. more that its hard to see anything when one's head is up one's own rear end.

I won't send it. I'm calming down now.:o

Also its an in law (not the one Viva will think if she reads this, but their spouse). I really hate them. They sent me an email on the morning of my weding ''forbidding'' me to do it.

Hi Carol. I write copy for financial advisors and insurance brokers predominantly, because I was in Insurance for 15 years. I am just starting so it is very early days.

It isnt exciting, but I love writing, if life was perfect I would sit there and write comedy and plays for Radio 4! Just have to have more confidence in myself really, but I suppose that will come.

Which is why I'm here a lot of the time...

And I suspect I'm not the only one.

I'm feeling very very unfocused angry at the political situation at the moment. I knew the Tories would be !!!! once they got in but they haven't wasted any time, have they?

University tuition fees to go up, child benefits to (probably) go, national insurance rise pushed through contrary to what they claimed in the run-up to the election...but landlords' register scrapped, etc.

I need Pobby to commiserate with.

Could I be a PITA and have a newspaper link to this report.....or is there a thread here somwhere.
